Golden State remains in the hunt for Utah Jazz big man Lauri Markkanen, but has entered a waiting period regarding trade talks with Utah, per Anthony Slater of the Athletic. The belief is that the Jazz will ultimately sign their star, despite the Warriors already having a substantial offer on the table.
Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins has become a potential wild card in the trade, with Brett Siegel of clutch points reporting that a multi-team trade to deal Andrew Wiggins for more trade assets is a possibility. Kylen Mills and Chuck Walter break down whether the Warriors should look to flip Wiggins or bank on him having a bounce back season.

@michaelschlein8346 25 күн бұрын

Ugh! Everyone is so willing to overreact. Years ago I saw a baseball convo that said statistically, when a guy has a career year, good or bad, the next year their production will almost certainly be in between that production and their career average. So, Wiggins will bounce back to a good player, but not quite as good as before, which is fine. According to Statmuse GSW were #8 offensively, and top 8 in all the relevant scoring categories, but 18th defensively and middling in all relevant defensive categories. So, WE DON'T NEED OFFENSE. And, that's why the FO signed 2 tremendous defensive players in Melton and Anderson, along with 2 ways on great college defenders Beekman and Post. The narrative that GSW can't score because we let Klay go, or just in general is BS! Top 8 offensively in 2023-2024! We don't need Lauri, and we shouldn't make huge changes unless we aren't giving up that much to make them happen. If there is a move to make that makes us clearly better, it would be trading Moody for a Walker Kessler type big to bolster the center spot defensively (especially vs teams with a tall or physical center), the only spot that really needs an addition.

Andrew is the reason why they actually won that championship against the Celtics. He guarded Luka Dončić, he guarded Jokic. He eliminated the current not so good and still have proven anything to me too. The Boston Celtics. Who the Golden State Warriors need to find a trading partner for is the person who destroyed the dynasty himself: Draymond Green.
